Wear scrubs and look ready to work. Probably going in would be best because they get to see you. Wear scrubs and look ready to work.

You will find all the job postings on their website. Go straight to the source - don't google for jobs or anything like that, find the websites for the hospitals near you where you want to work and they will always have an "employment" tab somewhere on the homepage. I was certified as a NA to get into RN school, but never worked as a CNA so I had NO luck getting a job in a hospital while in school. Everyone told me to work in a nursing home, which I did not want to do, but it's the best place for CNAs with no experience to start out, because it can be difficult getting in to a hospital with no patient care experience. Good luck! Many larger hospitals these days prefer you fill out applications online. You will find all the job postings on their website.
